When Two Women Get Into A Fight, It's Never Pretty

Posted on by The INO.com Team

This morning, Christine Lagarde, the boss of the International Monetary Fund, announced to the world that the Federal Reserve should hold off raising interest rates until 2016. I do not ever remember the head of the IMF ever saying anything like that before.

So the question begets, is she trying to save her own skin by doing a classic political move and pointing the finger at somebody else, in this case Janet Yellen, head of the Federal Reserve?

My advice on this, it's not going to be pretty and the IMF should take care of its own screw-ups (like Greece) before trying to fix the screw-ups in America.

With that said, let's take a look at what's really going on in the marketplace today. I'm going to look at the major indices with the Trade Triangle technology, which by the way is totally nonpartisan and unbiased, and just goes with the flow.

Here's what the Trade Triangle technology is saying right now. Continue reading "When Two Women Get Into A Fight, It's Never Pretty" →

Alibaba Springs To Life With A Buy Signal Today!

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) sprang to life with a buy signal today (5/21). After being in a prolonged sideways movement for the past 3.5 months, Alibaba gave a major trend change buy signal today with a green monthly Trade Triangle kicking in at $91.88.

NYSE:BABA

A Fibonacci retracement of this stock would take it back to between $100.21 and $104.88. You would use this as your initial target zone.

8 Stocks Worth Looking At This Monday

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Hello traders and MarketClub members everywhere. I found these 8 stocks using the Trade Triangles scan. Each of the stocks flashed continuation signals to the upside today. The only exception was one ETF, which gave a major buy signal with a new monthly Trade Triangle.

Let's begin with the ETF that gave the major buy signal.

The ETF is:

iShares Silver Trust (PACF:SLV)
The Trust seeks to reflect generally the performance of the price of silver. The Trust seeks to reflect such performance before payment of the Trust’s expenses and liabilities. The Trust is not actively managed. It does not engage in any activities designed to obtain a profit from, or to ameliorate losses caused by, changes in the price of silver. The Trust receives silver deposited with it in exchange for the creation of Baskets of Shares, sells silver as necessary to cover the Trust expenses and other liabilities and delivers silver in exchange for Baskets of Shares surrendered to it for redemption.

Here are the other 7 stocks and an ETF that gave continuation signals to the upside: Continue reading "8 Stocks Worth Looking At This Monday" →

Did You Miss These Two Signals?

Posted on by The INO.com Team

At the beginning of the week, I stated that this week would be a game changing week. It's beginning to play out that way with tomorrow being the key day.

Yesterday, the Trade Triangles issued a major buy signal in gold (FOREX:XAUUSDO). Could this possibly be indicating that inflation is on its way? I have said all along that the only way the United States can get out of its multi-trillion dollar deficit hole is to inflate asset prices.

Today, the Trade Triangles issued a buy signal on the Dow (INDEX:DJI). Can the NASDAQ and S&P 500 follow behind?

In today's video, I will be looking at gold and where I think it's headed to the upside and the implications it could have on equity prices. Continue reading "Did You Miss These Two Signals?" →

How To Trade Like A Hedge Fund

Posted on by The INO.com Team

Today, I would like to show you how to create your own private hedge fund for your own account. It's not that difficult and it can make a huge difference to your bottom-line. Let me explain what I mean by that.

What Is A Hedge?

A hedge is an investment position intended to offset potential losses/gains that may be incurred by a companion investment. In simple language, a hedge is used to reduce any substantial losses/gains suffered by an individual or an organization.

A hedge can be constructed from many types of financial instruments, including stocks, exchange-traded funds, insurance, forward contracts, swaps, options, many types of over-the-counter and derivative products, and futures contracts.

Public futures markets were established in the 19th century to allow transparent, standardized, and efficient hedging of agricultural commodity prices; they have since expanded to include futures contracts for hedging the values of energy, precious metals, foreign currency, and interest rate fluctuations.[1]

For our purposes today I'm going to be looking at hedging stocks. I'm going to give you specific examples of what you can do today. One stock you're going to buy and go long, the other stock you're going sell and go short.

In order to make this work, you need to have the same amount of invested capital in each stock. The two stocks I'm looking at today are traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The first stock is ONEOK Inc. (NYSE:OKE), the second stock is Basic Sanitation Co. (NYSE:SBS).

For discussion's sake, let's say you have $10,000 to invest. Divide the money up into two buckets of $5,000 each. You would then look at what price each stock was trading at. OKE is currently trading around $43 a share and SBS is trading around $6 a share. Then divide the value of 1 OKE share (presently at $43) into $5,000. This gives you 116.27 shares that you can buy or short with your $5,000. To make things easier, I would round this down to either 110 or 115 shares.

NYSE:OKE

ONEOK, Inc. engages in the gathering, processing, storage, and transportation of natural gas in the United States. It operates in Natural Gas Gathering and Processing, Natural Gas Liquids, and Natural Gas Pipelines segments. Continue reading "How To Trade Like A Hedge Fund" →
